Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Pontiac for her question and for her hard work. I was very pleased to be at the University of Ottawa yesterday with the President of the Treasury Board to announce a federal contribution of $20.4 million to support French-language programs at the University of Ottawa. This funding will be used to develop new courses entirely in French and to hire faculty in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as to create a new centre of excellence for French-language education. This is another example of how this government is supporting official language minority communities and post-secondary institutions in those communities.

  • Re: Bill C-13 
Mr. Speaker, the answer is simple. We have absolutely nothing to hide on this side of the House. We want to do everything we can to protect and promote the beautiful French language. That is why we are moving forward with an ambitious bill that has more bite. I hope that my hon. colleague and all the parties in the House will work with us to get this bill passed as quickly as possible.

Mr. Speaker, once again, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. As I said, Bill C-13 is now before the House of Commons and committee. Committees have important work to do. Before the bill receives royal assent, we need to do all the work to ensure that it receives royal assent. Afterwards, we can implement the bill, absolutely.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I also want to thank the Parliamentary Budget Officer for his work. Our modernization of the Official Languages Act is still being debated in Parliament, and it is customary to wait until a bill is officially passed before drafting any accompanying regulations. That is particularly important in a minority Parliament. We look forward to passing the bill as soon as possible. Once again, we hope that all opposition parties will work with us to ensure that it receives royal assent soon.

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague from Fredericton for her important question. I would also like to thank her for highlighting the importance of ensuring that our young people in official language minority communities have a career path that will allow them to continue to work in their language. Last week, I had the privilege of announcing a $6.6-million investment in projects at New Brunswick Community College. This investment will give Acadian and francophone students more tools to advance professionally throughout their careers.
